Questions, answered

What to know before you begin.

Do you write or illustrate the book?

No. Your story, illustrations and page design should already be complete. We focus on checking your finished files and producing one hardcover copy.

Will you print without my approval?

No. We send a digital proof first, and production begins only after you approve it.

Do I keep ownership of my work?

Yes. Your work stays yours. We use your files only to review, proof, print, deliver and support your order.

What if my PDF has a printing problem?

A person checks common issues such as trim size, page count, image quality, margins and bleed. If something needs attention, we contact you before printing.

Ready when your PDF is.

Let’s make your finished story real.
